Titus Caesernius Statianus

Titus Caesernius Statianus was a Roman senator who held a number of appointments in the Imperial service during the reigns of Hadrian and Antoninus Pius.

He held the Republican magistracy of plebeian tribune, which was followed by the special assignment to recruit soldiers in Transpadane Italy (missus ad dilec[tu]m juniorum a Divo Hadriano in regionem Transpadanam).

[5] After he concluded his duties as praetor, Statianus was commissioned legatus legionis or commander of Legio XIV Gemina, which at that time was stationed at Carnuntum in Pannonia Superior; Alföldy dates his service around the period from the year 136 to 138.

Since upon holding this post a senator most often immediately acceded to the consulate, as was the case with Statianus, he was likely admitted to the Roman priesthood of the sodales Augustales prior to being sent to command the III Augusta.

An inscription found at Pontailler-sur-Saone attests to his appointment as governor of Germania Superior;[7] Alföldy dates his tenure from around 149 to 152.
